Lloyd was one of three black players to start the 1950-51 season in the fledgling NBA. The Celtics started the ball rolling, drafting Duquesne’s Chuck Cooper in the second round of the 1950 draft. The Capitals then took Lloyd in the ninth round and the Knicks signed Harlem Globetrotters star Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton.

The Capitals opened the season on Oct. 31, 1950, one day before the Celtics and four days before the Knicks, allowing Lloyd to play first. He was inserted into the game in the second half of a 78-70 loss to the Rochester Royals in upstate New York and grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds to go along with six points. The move did not have anywhere near the same impact as when Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier three years earlier.

Lloyd credits the Celtics for paving the way for him to play in the league.

“I truly believe this, that if the Celtics did not draft Chuck in the second round, you could not tell me that the Washington Capitols in 1950 were going to make me the first black player to play in this league. No way. … The Boston Celtics had a tremendous influence on my acceptance in the NBA.”

The Capitals folded in January of that season, but Lloyd went on to play for the Syracuse Nationals — helping them win the 1955 NBA title — and Detroit Pistons before retiring in 1960. A 6-foot-5 forward known as a standout defender, the former West Virginia State star finished his career averaging 8.4 points and 6.4 rebounds in 560 games.

Lloyd coached the Pistons for just over a season in the early 1970s — becoming the second black NBA head coach after Celtics legend Bill Russell — and then served as a scout for Detroit for five years.

“Today is a very special day for me because today is the day that I take my shoes … and I find a little street corner down the street and throw my sneakers on the power lines because today I officially retire from the NBA,” Hamilton said on ESPN’s “His & Hers” show.

Hamilton, who spent nine of his 14 NBA seasons with the Pistons, including 2004 when he helped Detroit upset the Lakers in the NBA Finals, had not played since the 2013-14 season with the Bulls. He explained that he took last season off in order to let his body recover, but when he suffered a freak foot injury in October he started to realize his career was over.

“I looked myself in the mirror and said, ‘Hey, you know what, it might be my time,” Hamilton said. “I’ve got a lot of miles on my body, I think I just need to let it go.”

A three-time All-Star, Hamilton finishes with a career average of 17.1 points per game. Prior to entering the NBA, he helped UConn win the 1999 NCAA title and was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four that year.

After being informed by an assistant coach that Wade Baldwin IV was misbehaving — apparently not for the first time — Stalling confronted Baldwin while they went through the handshake line and loudly berated him, saying among other things, “I’m going to [expletive] kill you.”

“I handled it completely inappropriately and I apologized to Wade — and I need to apologize to our fans and the Vanderbilt administration,” Stallings told ESPN. “Having said that, and it may seem as though I’m trying to rationalize my behavior, sportsmanship will continue to be a high priority. I did not mean it in the literal sense and I’ve never touched a player in all my years as a coach. That’s not me. I will learn from this and handle this situation differently in the future.”

Stallings also apologized in a school press release about an hour after the game.

ON THIS DAY TRIVIA (answer below): On Feb. 27, 1983, which Bruin recorded two goals and an assist in a 4-3 victory over the Whalers in Hartford and in the process became the sixth player to score 250 goals in a Bruins uniform?

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “First thing I would do would be cancel the replay thing. That takes a lot of time. When you have to review a play that just happened, man, sometimes that takes forever. If you call safe or out, they should just leave it right there like it used to be. It’s taking forever, and we’re talking about shortening up the time.” – Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz, on MLB’s attempts to speed up the game

Michael and Dale discuss the re-emergence of the Celtics in the public's eye, especially since the trade to bring in Isaiah Thomas. The grit of this young team just might be contagious.

It it was a great trade for ... [0:00:57] ... Nam. He just got that he comes into the game so happy RajonRondo is is that you know that guy who brings up body your seat in he'll throw that 84 foot bounce pass or some that are jobless as at all bathrooms and and I think IsiahThomas actually brings. A little more to the table. But our best but that history we shoot better than the rich on Ron there are no puts them. And it dark convince me why I should like RajonRondo more than IsiahThomas body of work. And and that's the the big thing here why I think this is knee jerk I seem RajonRondo play for how many years here. I've seen IsiahThomas played what three games here so far. Interesting little side bit stat. First three games of the Celtics career. The only guy who scored more points in his first three games in the Celtics uniform with Bob Mac it. He's court's 64 points in his first three games IsiahThomas is now scored 61 in his first three. Another way of him as both governors are definitely a a couple of gutters ... [0:02:31] ... and Antoine combined. So. I'm sure you're out of it promised that RajonRondo when when he's on his game and he's like an IMF and. Goats out but no he's that's the thing that there's there's baggage that comes with RajonRondo as well there are times when he looked like cubicle with a motions. You know when the bright lights court on in the national TV cameras weren't there there were some nights that he took off a little bit. There's you know of that. The diva stuff that drove doc crazy here probably RD drive and RickCarlisle crazy there. Mean I don't know Isaiah Thomas well enough I don't know. You know what kind of guy he is I want pretend that I you know a comic Irish on Rondo is but in terms of how proud you are a little easier what you see ya on the court. Isaiah Thomas seems like a better teammate than RajonRondo. We have there's a lot to like Arnold he's a better point guard go or he's a better point carper for Rondo is game. When he's on a maybe that Rondo is is gone will will see. The injury may have taken a lot out of them but Rondo that game is setting people up regulating. The pace. You talk about pace of game of baseball out where RajonRondo is your is your pace of game commissioner. That's his strength it's unbelievable how when he's going. Everybody's better everybody gets the shot they want to get the ball where they want it well separate Allen. You know with it along but we always up for the most part can just set people up and wanna do. And that in and IsiahThomas is more of a of a scoring point guard. More than any.
